Hello from Glasgow
Of all the W123s, the 240d seems the most popular...at least in the US where I'm from.
My first W123 was a 300d with the turbo 617. That was my favourite. Just the right amount of power for a heavy/old car.
I now drive a W123 240d and find it anemic, nearly dangerous, on modern roads. It is SOOOOO slow.
Are there still die-hard 240 lovers out there? Is the attraction that it is just simple?
I have seen some folks turbocharge the OM616, but it's a lot of work for not much gain.
Please chime in your experience, opinion, love, hate, etc.!
